National Renter's Day of Action 09/16

A group of protestors gathered in Oakland at lunchtime to rally against rising and unaffordable rents in Alameda County. It's heartbreaking to listen to the stories of people struggling. You might be doing everything you can to care for your family and yet it is still not enough. One man spoke of how, despite working as a restaurant manager, the only way he can house his family is to take advantage of living in a shelter.
